Watergate Salad

Fluffy marshmallows in whipped cream and pistachios,

A Grandmother’s classic from generations.

Richard Nixon was quite slick
 Most just called him tricky dick
  But it was in Watergate
 that he did participate
 Ford pardoned him very quick...

Watershed and Watergate

From a watershed year to Watergate,
And all the people  could hardly wait;
We did  look;
Saw a crook;
What happened was us did Nixonate.

Richard Millhouse Nixon
was awfully good at fixin’
everything but Watergate
sadly sealed a “tricky” fate

Richard M. Nixon
                                                      Needed some fixin'.
                                                     His presidency failed,
                                            When Watergate was unveiled....

Richard Nixon was the president’s name
It was Watergate that brought him shame
They wanted to impeach him, the F.B.I.
But he resigned before they could try.

Budweiser T-shirt
And hair to my jaws,
Viet Nam waning
While Watergate roared:

Was a summer in Milford,
On Long Island Sound,
In a cottage with family—
We swam and we crabbed,
Suffered sunburn a lot,

And bikini-clad girls
Went stealing my eyes
To teach me of beauty
And life’s ultimate prize....

Never throw a tirade at a parade,
Or castigate a wealthy profligate
Do not endanger the park ranger,
Or roller skate at the Watergate
Careful always to recoup the poop,
One never ever makes a group
Expect the worst if lips are pursed,
Avoid, if possible, being coerced
And always assemble yourself
Before sitting on the top shelf.

Hilary oh Hilary
Why are you such a demon seed
You lie you cheat and also steal
How did you keep from going to jail
They fired you from the Watergate
At 27 you were such a snake
Your husband Bill he ruled our land 
Puppet strings from your cold hand
Now you want a second shot
If you win then we are foked
So to my people of the U.S.A.
Vote Donald Trump to save the day
The man the myth the crazy fool
Either way we are so screwed...

Documentary on The War *
More and more and more!
America the Great.
Nam to Watergate,
With plenty more in store.

Don't know if I'm pessimistic
or just a shade realistic.
Politicians lie.
Easy sales. We buy!
Perhaps a bit simplistic.

It was "way back then."
Sam took it on the chin.
I'll watch it all.
I did my call,
But I wouldn't do it again


*18 hour (!!!)  television series about the Vietnam War currently showing on PBS...

A dignified statesman, 
A deified ‘Godman,’
A glorified star (of films or sports)
All tumble—
After a Starr report 
Or an HIV test 
Or a dope test.
Or maybe a Watergate 
Or a Coalgate. 
Media reports or media hype?
Whistle blowers
On whistle blowers—ad infinitum. 
God and my God are antithetical?
Is rape the norm—
Where Rama and Sita are worshipped?
Whatever your belief,
Call it Postmodern Era 
Or Kali Yuga
Or what you will, 
Will entropy be the norm?
—	Ram., R. V....

Inspired by walking on Watergate Bay  in North Cornwall, England



Admission fees:  Seniors free – Adults free – Family Pass free

	My beautiful Atlantic muse
	of deepest, turquoise blue,
	roaring forth your issue
	newly crowned with champagne hue

	The sea’s explosive theatre
	devoid of human hand,
	such a beautiful creation
	of faceted golden sand

	Closed eyes and salty lips
	quenched in the sun’s embrace,
	no need for riches here
	in Mother Nature’s grace...
